It is much better this way. You can look at the slide
shows and really listen to the words to this classic
song of peace and brotherhood all over the world.
IT IS THE END OF THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2006IN THIS YEAR, I HAVE GROWN MUCH AS A PERSON, AS I AM SURE WE ALL HAVE. EACH YEAR, AS IT GOES BY DAY BY DAY, DOES NOT SEEM SO SIGNIFICANT.
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON THE CULMINATION OF THOSE DAYS, YOU SEE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED IN YOUR LIFE FOREVER. SMALL, LARGE, MEDIUM, NOT MUCH NOTICED, OR LIFE SHATTERING.
YOU AND I HAVE CHANGED, AND SO HAVE THE OTHERS AROUND US, AS WELL AS OUR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.
WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD, MY FRIENDS. IT HAS SOME UGLY SPOTS, WHICH DARKEN THE VIEW OF THE BEAUTY, BUT IT IS STILL THERE, WAITING FOR YOU AND I TO LOOK. REALLY LOOK, AND SEE WHAT IS HERE FOR US. GOD HAS BEEN GENEROUS TO US, WITH BEAUTY FOR THE EYES AND EARS. FOOD FOR THE STOMACH, AND CHILDRENS LAUGHTER TO ENSURE THE FUTURE.
WITH THIS IN MIND I HAVE PREPARED A SLIDESHOW OR TWO IN HOPES YOU WILL SEE SOME BEAUTY TODAY, THIS LAST DAY OF 2006, AND THAT IT MIGHT LINGER INTO THE BEGINNING OF A BRAND NEW YEAR, WAITING FOR US TO CHANGE AND CHANGE THINGS... TO IMAGINE, AS THE WORDS TO SONG TELL YOU... IMAGINE ... ITS EASY IF YOU TRY... AND THE HOPE THAT ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL LIVE AS ONE.....
WHEREVER IT IS THAT GOD HAS PLACED YOU ON THIS EARTH, THERE IS BEAUTY....
THE FACES OF THE FUTURE, THE HOPE OF THE WORLD.... IMAGINE.... WHAT IT WILL BE.... IT'S EASY IF YOU TRY.....
